SENATOR +. Z. jackson, the
democratic nominee for Governor
in his letter of acceptance says:
81 accept the nomination, and
beg leave, through you, to express
my thanks to the Convention for the
honorable distinction conferred upon
me. The platform adopted with
such unanimity meets my hearty
approval. By it the party stands
pledged to an upright and efficient
civil service, to the revision of the
tariff, to the protection of the rights
of the laboring man against the en-
roachments of corporations and large
capitalists, to the protection of the
purity of the ballot box and the sane
tity 5f elections. Ifelected, nothing
could give me more pleasure than to
cooperate with the Legislature in
giving these subjects practical shape
as far as they come within the scope
of State legislation. The relations
between employers and employees and
their respective rights should be
squarely met and settled with fair
ness to all concerned. But that
which lies at the foundation of all
rights is free and fair elections, and
any effort to secure that end will
meet my most cordial approval. An
nual registration in Baltimore city
is desired and necessary for protec-
ton against fraudulent voting, and
/ would favor any necessary legisla-
ton for that purpose.
81 realize that the Office of Gov
ernor is one Of no small response
bility, and / shall endeayor to prove
myself worthy of the canidence OF
the people By q faithful discharge
Of my duties Of the high trust.
These are noble sentiments, and
We have no doubt they meet the
views Of a large majority Of the rot
ers Of the State. Senator jackson
is true type Of the Jacksonian de-
m0cracy Of the Eastern Shore, and
Il elected will make 4 good Execu-
tiYe.

TnE Acting Commissioner of In
dian Affairs has taken the first step
to declare Indians citizens of the
United States under the Allotment
bill. On the 18th inst. an election
is to be held at Niobrara, Nebraska,
over a county seat matter, and the
citizens, learning that the Indians
at the Santee Agency were deter
mined to exercise their right of
franchise under the Allotment bill,
appealed to the Indian Office to
prevent it. Gen. Upshaw replied
to telegram from A. d. Holbrook
making this protest, stating that
under the laws of Nebraska all citi-
zens of the United States who have
resided six months in the State,
forty days in the county, and ten
DAYS in the ward or precinct had
the right to vote, and that under
the Allotment act the Santee In
dams were citizens of the United
States, and must have the same
privileges as other citizens. Ex-
Senator VanWyck telegraphed to
Washington also to ask if Indians
were to be allowed to vote, and was
informed BY the department that
they were. Agent Hill was tele-
graphed by Gen. Upshaw as follows:
HSu, Agent, Springfield, Dakota:
Refrain from active participation in
election to be held Aug. 10. and do not
attempt to infiuen e Indians to vote or to
abstain Fl m voting. They should be
left TO follow their own inclinations in
the matter. These instructions to app y
to the trader and agency employees also.
Gen. Upshaw says Owe mean
to ascertain now whether the Allot-
ment act means anything for the
Indian"
